Free Music Review: How Are Things In Glocca Morra?
Hit: 5 Stars
Long a fan of Irish music, I have turned to a series of artists to satiate my appetite. Bing Crosby and John McCormick have been succeeded by the Irish Tenors.This CD has a bit more of an Irish American theme as "Isle Of Hope, Isle Of Tears" and "God Bless America" illustrate. Interspersed among these tunes are traditional Irish tunes such as "Macushla" and "Croppy Boy", along with newer songs, such as "The Green Fields Of France" and "How are Things In Glocca Morra?"
The singing is excellent, the words understandable. I appreciate the inclusion the lyrics of the songs contained on the insert of the cover. These are songs you will want to learn, whose stories you will want to research. I have. Listen again and again!

The Irish Tenors have grown into a polished ensemble of powerful individual voices, exquisite harmonies, and beautiful instrumental backgrounds. Ellis Island shows them off to perfection.The Irish trio, sung in Gaelic, is upbeat, unusual and, to me, totally mesmerizing. I was blown away when I first heard it and now can't play it enough! The first track is Isle of Hope, Isle of Freedom, about the first immigrant to pass through Ellis Island is haunting and beautiful.
It is truly difficult for me to pick favorites. Anthony Kearns' voice is painfully beautiful on The Croppy Boy, Finbar is wonderful on Forty Shades of Green. Frank McNamara is the musical genius behind the arrangements. This is simply the best music around!
Free Music Review: Doesn't seem possible but this may be the best yet.

Wow!! "Isle of Hope Isle of Tears" starts the journey and "God Bless America" ends it. Between these two powerful pieces of music is the best collection yet by the best voices you'll ever hear. This CD takes your breath away. I have all of their CD's and frankly didn't think it could get better than the "Live From Belfast" concert. This is better although how they continue to improve prefection is a mystery. Listen carefully to "The Greenfields of France" it might be the jewel in this recording althought "Forty Shades of Green" and"Macushla" are beautiful pieces as well. There isn't a weak point in this recording I can't imagine anyone not loving this CDFree Music Review: Truly Exciting Ellis Island Show
Hit: 5 Stars
I had talked with one of my co-workers the day prior to seeing the show and mentioned that the Tenors were appearing in Greensburg, PA. I said how much I would love to go and see them. The very next night I happened to tune in to PBS and there they were. The music was beautiful and sung with so much emotion, it made me cry. The guys look so happey to be performing and it seems to travel to the audience. My favorite song is Danny Boy, which I used to sing to my son when he was a baby. It was like a dream come true that I happened upon the show that night since I was really in the mood to hear them sing. I went right out and purchased the album and have enjoyed it every day since. Thank you, Thank you.
